Summer has arrived and with it, the start to the imported Peruvian citrus season. Pacific Organic Produce now offers organic Peruvian citrus. Their 2nd generation grower operates his family owned and operated farm in the Huaura river valley in Peru, known for its fertile soils. The farm began its transition to organic in 2004 and was certified organic in 2010.
The farm focuses on using natural predators to maintain fruit quality and keeps a keen eye on balancing sugar and acid for optimum flavor, according to the company. Food safety is of utmost importance to the family and the farm is Global GAP certified. They are the first certified organic citrus shipper to export to the US and said they are proud to offer the fruit for now the 7th season, growing Satsuma, Minneola & Murcotts.
